He didn't pay any attention to Li Dingfang's fellow sufferer, and yelled at Dugu Huai'en for not knowing the importance of the matter...
Well, Jiang Baoyi's legendary life is still in progress. Although Liu Rang hated him extremely, he did not dare to chop off the head of this defeated general.
Pei Ji, who passed by a few days ago, was a favorite of the emperor, and his status was not much different.
Jiang Baoyi and Li Dingfang were sent away quickly, almost like sending away the god of plague.
In fact, Dugu Huai'en, the Minister of Industry and Industry, was not ignorant of priorities, nor did he return to Chang'an because he was greedy for life and afraid of death. The only thing he did when he went to the capital was to request an order to lead troops to the east of the river.
As for what his intention was, it was very clear.
His heart has become bigger, and in his opinion, Li Po and Li Ding'an of Jin have surrendered to the Turks.
As the direct son of the Dugu family, and his cousin was already a Turkic Khan, it would be easy for him to conquer Li Ding'an for his own use, and then lead his army south to Chang'an...
Such a beautiful prospect... Well, Li Po never dreamed that there would be such a person who wanted to step on his head and ascend to the supreme position in the world.
If he knew about it, he would definitely burst into laughter and say, "The forest is so big, there are really all kinds of birds. The Spring and Autumn Dream is a good one."
However, Dugu Huaien does not think that he is dreaming, he is working hard for his dream.
And Li Po's defeat of more than 200,000 Tang troops did give him a seemingly good opportunity.
In fact, even if Li Shentong was not defeated so quickly, Dugu Huaien was already discussing with his confidants Yuan Junbao, Liu Rang and others to cut off Li Shentong's food supply.
When Jiang Baoyi and Li Ding'an returned to Chang'an, they felt clearly shocked.
For Li Tang, this huge defeat in Jin Land was nothing short of adding insult to injury.
Xiao Mian's army is attacking Jianmen, Xue Rengao's bandit Lue Fufeng, Li Gui from Xiliang and Erliang Division from the north are also secretly spying on the hinterland of Guanxi, and Wang Shichong from Henan is even more eyeing. At this time, Li Tang has been completely surrounded by the enemy.
among.
Li Shentong's defeat almost ruined Hedong, where Li Yuan started his career.
The dream of leveling the world is getting further and further away from Li Yuan. The high-spirited march to Chang'an more than a year ago and the magnificent ambition when he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor seem to be like a world away now.
Jiang Baoyi and Li Dingfang were stopped before they entered Chang'an, and they were escorted directly into Chang'an Palace, where they met Emperor Li Yuan in the majestic Tai Chi Palace.
At this time, Li Yuan looked really old. His hair was whiter and less black. His slender eyes were bloodshot. His once tall and strong body had become rickety. In addition, his body was getting thinner and thinner.
The man turned out to be much shorter.
The moment she saw Li Yuan, Jiang Baoyi burst into tears, which made Li Yuan's eyes turn red.
Originally, Li Yuan's anger was building up in his uneasiness, and he would probably vent it on Jiang Baoyi and Li Dingfang, but this cry made Li Yuan soften up out of habit.
"I have heard about your bravery and valor. I am very pleased that you can return safely. Come on, please sit down."
At this time, the several civil and military ministers in the palace were all slightly stunned, and then they all lowered their eyelids. In fact, they were almost thinking, okay, if Pei Ji comes back and cries, you will just demote him to a civilian position and let him shut up and think about his mistakes.
When these two people cry again, you will be reminded of their bravery. So who will bear the responsibility for the defeat?
In such a huge defeat, how can we make the generals in front fight to the death without killing a few of them?
Forget about Pei Ji, Jiang Baoyi is such a good candidate. His official position is high enough, he has been captured continuously, and he is helpless. Such a head is simply perfect...
Of course, they all know that it doesn't make much difference whether Jiang Baoyi is killed or not. Hedong's corruption is a foregone conclusion, and other incidents are insignificant in comparison.
